St. James Infirmary provides compassionate and non-judgmental healthcare and social services for all sex workers while preventing occupational illnesses and injuries through a comprehensive continuum of services.

NEW REDUCED SERVICES

So this is not good news, but because of the budget cuts in the last 6 months, and a reduction in our grants and donations we are making some more changes to our services.

Beginning July 14th we are reducing our Tuesday services as follows:

NEX hours are now from 3-6pm, we will no longer have medical and holistic will be once a month only.

We will no longer be offering HIV/STI testing at the Saturday HPP NEX site on 6th Street.

Wednesday evenings and Thursday afternoons will continue as usual, unless we receive more budget cuts from the State.

For the most current schedule, make sure to visit the calendar.  It is updated on the first of every month, or more frequently if needed.

Thanks.
